Whenever I start feeling worn out of the music I have been listening too I spend some time just scrolling through and listening. I am not a big playlist person but rather a library person. (I use Apple Music for this reason as they emphasize libraries). When I find a song I like I just add it to my library. And Apple Music’s interface is great as I can retrieve it by either looking for the album, artists, or genre (albeit it’s classifications aren’t very good).
I can't speak for that user in particular but I use Reddit for music discovery as well. My flow is this: I'll look for stuff with the genre tags I know I like and look for new artists I don't recognize that have those tags. I'll listen to one or two songs and set their name aside if I like them and go back to browsing. After I get bored of looking for new stuff, I'll go back through and listen to the entire discography of that artist and add songs I like to my Spotify or Youtube playlists. I then move from artist to artist that I set aside earlier. After that, I'll look for any collabs they've done and check out the assisting artist or I'll check out the "people also listen to" suggestions on Spotify and start the process over but there instead of on Reddit. That cycle typically lasts about a year before I get the urge to look for new stuff again on Reddit like that.
1. strangely these days I'm a lot more relieved to see subscriptions over one-time payments because those projects tend to have the funding to update their software.
2. agree, syncing is to a mobile device is required
> The word “assaulting” presumes that he applied force or violence, in some unspecified way, but the article itself says no such thing. Only that they had sex.
If someone appears to be having sex with someone that appears to be underage, the older person appears to be sexually assaulting the younger person. This is because a minor cannot legally consent which makes non-consensual sex forceful by definition, hence it is called assault.
In other words: rms was wrong, and now rms is gone.
Dallas is a city of suburbs, sprawl, and strip malls. Looking for an artisan? That'll be 30 minutes driving please. Driving everywhere means people don't have places to walk. And when you do walk, you're walking amongst dangerous, loud, and smoggy traffic.
There's a race for larger and larger homes in Dallas. Those homes take more energy to cool and heat as the seasons shift, and the larger footprint means the sprawl accelerates.
What do people do with the larger homes? They get lonely in them.
Telegram should be avoided. They do weird things with their security and ignored criticism on it. The key verification requires checking an image, so you can't do it over the phone. Plus closed source, so you're very likely entirely depending on trusting Telegram.
Their response to using AES IGM? It's along the lines of "yeah this strange mode no one uses has issues but not in the way we use it so whatever. We've got math PhDs, so trust us."
I'm no expert, but I get a really bad feeling about them, since it's the totally wrong attitude to take.
I can't comment on the other arguments, but the client of Telegram is certainly FOSS [1]. Their service being open source is irrelevant, since you couldn't verify it anyway.
Seems like a weird and slow way to handle peer discovery. Why not the traditional DHT? There's even a DHT lib written in Go and a package specifically to find peers with the DHT called wherez.
